CONTAINER FOR TRANSPORTING HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS

摘要

A container for transporting hazardous liquids has a self-sustaining, leak-proof housing, a removable cover that can seal the housing, and a sorbent body resting on the flat bottom of the housing, which body comprises polyolefin microfibers and has a solidity of from 7 to 25%. The polyolefin microfibers preferably are particles, and the particles preferably are microwebs produced by divellicating a polyolefin microfiber web. When the container is used to transport sorbent materials that have been saturated by liquids of a chemical spill, the sorbent body ensures against there being any free liquid in the container.
